Space

June 11, 2026

Maybe the space between two heartbeats is supposed to be separated maybe now it lurks and it waits but it slowly starts to get impatient. The gap will slowly disappear, and two hearts will meet face to face to mate. The gap will close and close every single day but one day when you look nothing will appear in your way.

Your Poem's Voice

Blends personal romantic longing with abstract temporal/philosophical meditation on distance.

Sparse, meditative pacing with one central idea explored through repetition.

Hopeful and tender despite uncertainty; anticipatory rather than despairing.

Quiet, contemplative voice with gentle forward movement; no explosive intensity.

Four lines; micro to very short poem.

Personification of gap/space; metaphorical treatment of heartbeats and distance.

Pure lyric internal meditation; intimate first-person observation without dramatic shift.
